Conservative Party leader Iain Duncan Smith's heavy-handed opposition to last
week's approval of a queer couples adoptions measure; in developments "Down

Straight Alliance; a threatened mayoral veto forces the Eugene, Oregon City
Council to delete "gender identity" in order to pass a civil rights package
that includes a same gender partnership registry and anti-discrimination

based on "gender identity" to his city's human rights ordinances, and may

Whitaker (Julianne Moore and Dennis Quaid) live in a perfect split-level
house on a perfect street awash in a Technicolor palette of golden autumn
colors. But Frank Whitaker has a dark secret lurking in his closet and
Cathy's world is about to fall apart, sparking a controversial friendship
with their African-American gardener (Dennis Haysbert). This Way Out's STEVE
